With the recent growth in demand for high-data rate multimedia services in the wireless environments, the Mobile Broadband Wireless Access (MBWA) technologies, such as WiBro (Wireless Broadband internet) system, are gradually coming into the spotlight. Unlike the conventional mobile communication networks based on cellular system, the WiBro system basically consists of IP based backbone networks that will be ultimately deployed by Ipv6 (IP version six) based backbone networks according to the All-IP trend for the network evolution. In such wireless mobile environments, it is needed to support the mobility management protocol on network layer as well as physical layer and Medium Access Control (MAC) layer in WiBro system. Accordingly, in this paper, we propose a fast handover scheme for improving the handover performance in IPv6 based WiBro system and show that the proposed scheme achieves loss-free and low handover latency during inter-subnet movement of the mobile stations through the simulation.

As cellular network technologies continue to evolve, various network standards coexist in most CDMA-based cellular networks. This means that mobile device users access mobile services over different network bandwidths according to the users' positions or the mobile devices' network access capabilities. Such differences of network bandwidths cause big differences in service response times. To address this problem, we present a framework called CANS (Context-Aware framework for mobile Navigation Services), which takes into account the user's network profile to adapt the contents for CDRG(Centrally Determined Route Guidance) navigation services for cellular phones. To the best of the authors' knowledge, CANS is the first context-aware framework to make mobile navigation services more feasible. The experimental results under commercial CDMA network show that CANS is able to provide similar service response times regardless of type of wireless network to which users connect by adapting the contents to network bandwidths.

Recently smart phone and tablet PC are regarded as the most valuable mobile devices, so the demand of customers for multimedia supporting has been greatly increased. The network operators are now considering the deployment of relay stations ensuring low installation costs for its service cell to improve the cell capacity. Enhancing the relay stations, however, increases intra-cell interference, which is affecting the quality of service and outage ratio. In this paper, we present MPFR(Multihop Partial Frequency reuse) as the new frequency reuse scheme to increase cell throughput while maintaining low outage ratio for the OFDMA cellular multihop networks. Dynamic power control is also introduced to improve cell capacity. Overall cell throughput and outage ratio are observed by the simulation, and comparison between MPFR and conventional multihop frequency reuse schemes is convincing the performance enhancement.

The future mobile communication system can support not only voice but also multimedia applications such as data, image and video. It requires greater resources than the voice-oriented mobile system. We propose user and sub-channel priority based resource allocation for mobile multimedia services in the OFDMA systems. Our method is able to guarantee QoS continuity of realtime services and carry the maximum number of non-realtime subscriber. Simulation is focused on total throughput and blocking rate. The simulation results show that our proposed method provides a better performance than the conventional method.

In this paper, we proposed the multimedia call admission control algorithm with the bandwidth reservation based on the prediction of wireless terminal's location to guarantee quality of service for multimedia applications in cellular networks. This algorithm aims at minimizing possible errors In predicting the moving direction of terminals using a mobility prediction scheme. This prediction reduces the size of bandwidth reserved redundantly. In order to evaluate the performance of the algorithm, the blocking rate of new calls and the forced termination rate of hand-off calls are measured and compared the results with those of existing schemes. The results of the experiment revealed that the algorithm presented in this paper achieved better performance with lower call blocking rates and forced-termination rates than those of other methods.

Long-term evolution (LTE) is emerging as a major candidate for 4G cellular networks to satisfy the increasing demands for mobile broadband services, particularly multimedia delivery. Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology combined with orthogonal frequency division multiple access and more efficient modulation/coding schemes (MCS) are key physical layer technologies in LTE networks. However, in order to fully utilize the benefits of the advances in physical layer technologies, the MIMO configuration and MCS need to be dynamically adjusted to derive the promised gains of 4G at the application level. This paper provides a performance evaluation of video traffic with variations in the physical layer transmission parameters to suit the varying channel conditions. A quantitative analysis is provided using the perceived video quality as a video quality measure (evaluated using no-reference blocking and blurring metrics), as well as transmission delay. Experiments are performed to measure the performance with changes in modulation and code rates in poor and good channel conditions. We discuss how an adaptive scheme can optimize the performance over a varying channel.

The ongoing adoption of 5G will increase the data traffic, throughput, multimedia services, and power consumption for future wireless applications and services, including sensor and mobile networks. Multipath fading on wireless channels also reduces the system performance and increases energy consumption. To address these issues, device-to-device (D2D) and cooperative communications have been proposed. In this study, we propose two inter-clustering models using the relay selection method to improve system performance and increase energy efficiency in cooperative D2D networks. We develop two inter-clustering models and present their respective algorithms. Subsequently, we run a computer simulation to evaluate each model's outage probability (OP) performance, throughput, and energy efficiency. The simulation results show that inter-clustering model II has the lowest OP, highest throughput, and highest energy efficiency compared with inter-clustering model I and the conventional inter-clustering-based multirelay method. These results demonstrate that inter-clustering model II is well-suited for use in 5G overlay D2D and cellular communications.

In recent years, there has been increased to access multimedia service through the Internet due to rise of the access speed. We suppose the co-existence of the various access networks in adjacent area in the future, such as wireless LAN, Bluetooth, and 3G Cellular So, the size of the cell will be smaller and the number of access point will be increased. In other words, the potable devices need the efficient mobility scheme due to move between cells frequently Currently, the several of the scheme, which is Cellular IP, HAWAII, Mobile IPv4 regional registration, and hierarchical Mobile IPv6, is suggested to support micro-mobility but Mobile IPv4 is standard scheme to support the mobility of the mobile node. MPLS, which forwards the packet through switching instead of routing using IP address, has begun to deploy in the internet backbone to increase the performance of mobility protocol. The integration of both MPLS and Mobile IP improves the scalability of the Mobile IP data forwarding process by leveraging on the features MPLS which are fast switching and high scalability. Moreover it abbreviates IP-in-IP tunneling between HA and FA. In this paper, we suggest efficient mobility scheme through integration of both MPLS and hierarchical Mobile IPv6.

This paper is concerned with automatic telemetering system which reads the consumed quantity of electricity, gas, and piped water. The existing metering method such that a meterman visits households and directly reads meters can cause several problems, including violation of privacy and the possibility of criminal accident, as well the inefficiency in viewpoint of system operation and rate notification. In this paper, we propose a new automatic telemetering and rate notification system, in which the system reads several meters at remote locations and notifies the rates to the customer's cellular phone with short message service(SMS). The proposed system has been developed by using CDMA mobile communication modules and personal computers. This system can operate only with cellular communication network even without wired-internet facilities. In particular, the developed system can provide home security and convenience as well as cost reduction, and thus be applied to intelligent home networks.
